Allegiant by Veronica Roth

Title: Allegiant

Author: Veronica Roth

My Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Online Ratings: 3.6 out of 5 stars

NON-SPOILER SECTION!

Summary: The faction-based society that Tris Prior once believed in is shattered—fractured by violence and power struggles and scarred by loss and betrayal. So when offered a chance to explore the world past the limits she’s known, Tris is ready. Perhaps beyond the fence, she and Tobias will find a simple new life together, free from complicated lies, tangled loyalties, and painful memories. But what does Tobias and Tris discover that could change everything?

SPOILER ALERT!

My review: Allegiant is the final book in the Divergent trilogy which explains the "Faction system" in their Dystopian Chicago. To be honest the idea of Damaged Genes and Good Genes was a great way of explaining the system as in the end being Divergent was not important- it identified that everyone is equal, even though Tobias was upset with the discovery to represent he had damaged genes. The scientific use of genes was also amazing and Veronica Roth did a great lot of research on that as it was shown throughout the book. Veronica Roth has personally been one of my favourite authors, the first time I started following Tris' story, I felt like I could relate to her and experience what she is going through. Tris' death was a tragedy that kept me heart-broken for days and I applaud Veronica Roth for the huge risk she took. Overall I was very pleased with this book as it finally uncovered all the secrets we have been waiting to know.
